Shagster has the dual side vent purge. Shoots out at 45* angle. Looks insane!

Now that's a quip Devilman.

Nothing banes me more then when people look under the hood and ask if I have "nos". I tell them no and then they point to the solenoids and ask "what are those then?" I tell them that for the nitrous kit which confuses them. I then explain how nothing on my car is from Nitrous Oxide Systems and I don't have a company riding in my car.

These are the same people that think a vette on the jug is as fast as a street bike.

I could search but I'll be a lazy asshat and ask... what's the largest relatively safe shot for the LS1. I'm actually starting to lean towards a 250 wetshot....

I always thought I wanted a SC but for as often as I'd really use it, it just doesn't make fianacial sense, So I'm really leaning towards a quality Nitrous system. Any thoughts and recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

Pretty sure 250 will be living on the edge Tim. For stock shortblocks most people call it max at around 150, others have pushed to 200 with no issues. Its really all in the tune, personally on a stock shortblock I wouldn't go over 150 but thats just me considering yanking an engine on a vette looks much more difficult that it was on my TA

I searched for that guys 45* side vent purge and didn't find anything...

Nitrous is not very hard on the engine if it is set up right, the key is SET UP RIGHT!
Been running a 125 wet shot for a couple of years with no issues yet.
Full throttle switch, window switch, and a bottle heater will take care of most issues.
I personaly like the ZEX setup, its simple and all self contained, not to mention you can run your WOT right through it, after the window switch of course.

This is the only reason I would like to have Nitrous.

We may have, I honestly cant remeber who I got what from. This is a frankenstien kit. I got the purge and bottles from one member, the lines and solenoids from another, window switch and controls from someone else, And the fittings from a local speed shop.
